Question

Facing problem in ODBC datasource configuration for ingress…

I'm posting this issue on behalf of our client who is using CF 9.

Client says he's not able to configure Cold fusion datasource for ingress. It gives him some error - see attachments please. For your information, he says he was successful on configuring it on an older CF version 5.

I wasn't able to provide needed support as I'm specialized in Adobe's DTP applications, hence your assistance here is very much appreciated.

    Things to check/try.

    1. Verify that CF's ODBC service are installed and running correctly: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/ColdFusion/9.0/Installing/WSc3ff6d0ea77859461172e0811cdec18ae0-7fed.html#WSc3ff6d0ea77859461172e0811cdec18ae0-7ff8

    2. Try using a JDBC driver rather than an ODBC driver.  This option *should* have better performance than using an ODBC driver.

    Ingres JDBC drivers:

    Connecting to an external JDBC Type 4 data source (ColdFusion):
